Targeting Spam > A Criticism of NoFollow Links: Why You Should Not Use Them
[Barry Wise] Unfortunately, the use of nofollow tags has really impeded the original concept behind the open and free exchange of ideas on the Internet. Since so much traffic is dependent on Google today (and one can argue that the Internet as a whole is way too overly dependent on Google) the excessive use of nofollow tags hurts everyone’s chances of ranking well in Google. And by everyone, I mean the majority of website owners which own relatively small sites and blogs. As a result, there is less traffic to all our sites, which means less exchange of ideas.
